bones of whole families. in this casket are the remains of her mother father two sisters and three brothers i vividly remember the death of my parents and my siblings i hear their voices in my heart i'm sad but i forgive their killer in a separate attack alice was hacked all over her body one of her hands was amputated with a machete she nearly died yet she forgives the man who did this as well above her you see the tops of these modern day tunes they contain the remains of more than forty five thousand people killed in this district alone a family died in the church just here this is one of so many churches where people tried in vain to seek sanctuary but more than ten thousand people died here mostly women and children their clothes now spread out over the pews above shrapnel rained down upon this place and below here now you see coffins filled with the remains

bones of victims twenty five years on what happened here still defies understanding. as alice continues with her visits here the man who attacked her is now free living with his family he served eight years in jail and completed community service aside from killing in a group he's murdered twenty one people in cold blood would you say you feel nucky that you didn't get a life sentence or you did even you for serving a life sentence to be ok because it will be punishment for my crane's being alive is not lucky i kneel in front of those i have had and beg forgiveness this form of reconciliation is one of many initiatives aimed at trying to ensure peace can be permanent. but not everyone is as forgiving as alice andrew simmons out jazeera in rwanda our time for short break here now just when we come back the truth of

what they really go through it's heartbreaking we hear what families are enduring and that desperation to reach the united states and some unexpected effects of climate change we'll tell you what's happening to millions of children in bangladesh more on that stay with us. we still got plenty of wet and windy weather moving across western parts of him lots of clouds streaming in from the atlantic piling in the cross the british isles a good deal of france down across spain and portugal too and there is some lively weather to it's a central part of the mediterranean pushing over towards greece east of that that's where the fine weather is there is some around we see some warm sunshine there for a book or arrests walsall but it's up to nineteen celsius well moscow gets up to

around six degrees a fair amount of cloud still in place here but nothing about the cloud and the rain that we do have across those western possible really wet weather just coming in across spain as we go on through friday twelve celsius the top temperatures there for madrid not a lot better that's because i wanted to sas stay the cloud in the rank continues across many west impulse power soak up the six day not too bad here trying to improve what is a slow process but it gets up to twenty degrees just got back down to the southeast and look at athens tipping down with right that is logical some localized flooding something to watch out for as we go on through the weekend in that wet weather that's making its way across a good deal of the central med northern parts of africa a lot of clout showing up here there will be some heavy downpours for again some flooding rains a possibility there for northern parts of libya. sponsor. when they're on line. is to be able to be concise expressing exactly

what is happening in the moment and what it means. or if you joined us on saying israel is an apartheid state in the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people this is a dialogue everyone has a voice and we want to hear from you join a global conversation. welcome back to the top stories here the forces supporting the u.n. but governments have been deployed to defend libya's capital of troops loyal to warlord khalifa haftar move closer to the city. council's due to hold an emergency

meeting on friday to discuss the crisis in libya as interior minister told al jazeera the us government has lost faith in international efforts to resolve the crisis. in the u.s. congress has given final approval to a resolution to stop american funding for the war in yemen the builder heads to president trump who says he'll veto it. now the british prime minister has asked the e.u. to delay bragg's it again the u.k. is due to leave the bloc in a week but to resume my wants another three months until the end of june meanwhile the president of the european council donald tusk is we're proposing a flexible twelve month delay well for more on this let's cross. in london that being said the e.u. is indicating it would give the u.k. yet another extension to the brags that deadline was the thinking behind this that . that's right daryn though to clarify we must just stress that this is reportedly what the head of the european council

donald tusk is preparing to ask the heads of government at that summit in brussels next wednesday to do for britain it's his idea came off the long talks on thursday and he says it's the best solution his point is that it will give maximum flexibility to the u.k. so that the european union is not seem to be pressuring them into staying in the bloc but also would have the u.k. constantly coming back with a mini request for a short extension after extension so to avoid start kind of chaotic scenario his proposal is that britain be offered a one year extension presumably ending in april twenty twenty with the possibility of leaving the european union before that if they can get the withdrawal agreement through parliament interestingly enough to resume eighth seems now to be thinking along the same lines but with a crucial difference her letter that has now been

a that we've seen that's now out there in public includes a request for an extension as you were saying so over thirtieth of june of a very short one it's after that deadline beyond which the u.k. would have to take part in the european parliament elections it's going to anger many in her own party but it's far from certain whether the european will european union will actually go for that short extension just early in the week. the head of the european commission made it clear that they were not interested in short extensions anymore so there's still uncertainty on that front don't you know i'm not the meanwhile downing street to set these technical brags that talks between the opposition labor party and the conservatives will continue today what are they trying to achieve just talk us through that. that's right i mean there's very little of substance emerging from those talks between the government and the labor opposition they've now been postponed and we're expecting though the

prime minister to release a letter to labor in the coming hours outlining her position one possibility is that she will say that if we do strike a deal one of the options could be putting the idea to parliament next week of possibly taking the deal to another referendum what they're calling a come from a tree vote a red line for the labor party is some sort of customs union in the last few days more and more members of juries amazing in a circle have been saying that they might actually be prepared to countenance that one big question is this idea of a people's vote a referendum whatever you want to call it which is extremely divisive within the labor party some members are saying that anything else but putting it back to the people would break party policy others who have the ear of jeremy corbett a warning that that could really harm their chances in any forthcoming election so

many unknown still we know though that the u.k. will now have to seek an extension if it is to avoid leaving the without a deal at the end of next week the timetable couldn't be tighter. there in london i mean thank you now thousands of government employees in argentina are protesting against austerity measures the government cut the salaries of civil servants last year and reduce government spending demonstrators marched in the congress building but as ira's towns president morsi a mattress policies his reforms are backed by the international monetary fund and blame for rising inflation and a worsening economy things are slowly returning to normal in south africa's alexandra township after large scale protests against the government but many are still frustrated with what they say is their leader's failure to deliver services al-jazeera is how natasha has more from johannesburg. it's calm but still tense in johannesburg's alexandra township as people slowly try to get on with their lives after wednesday's protests but it's going to take a lot longer for anger of

a poverty rising unemployment and poor service delivery to end. is one of many south africans angry with the government she's lived in alexandra township for more than ten years and says she's not sure about voting anymore you know seeing next months are. you supposed to. vote for what. years you suppose because when you please. stop posting rude but what we getting. no sleep no nothing. still. that's why some residents protested barricading roads with burning tires and rocks demanding the government delivers better services and living conditions as become increasingly crowded the struggle to find jobs and housing is causing is it meant between locals and other african nationals there is no significant. order of

foreigners really if you've gone on top. of. your cholesterol's. more than two decades after the end of apartheid some here feel conditions haven't improved for the poor. many protests in south africa often of our government services and poverty and ahead of elections next month analysts say the ruling african national congress carnivores ignore this when the a.n.c. party lost some important minister parity to the opposition in local government elections three years ago. cleaning up afterwards is the easy part but meeting the demands of the poor who are the majority here is going to be a mammoth task for whichever wins the election in me. al-jazeera. u.s. president donald trump has backed down from his threat to close the u.s. border with mexico instead he says he will give mexico

a year to stop the flow of drugs and migrants. failure to do so will lead to border closures and terror of some mexican products members of from some republican party say a total border closure would have a devastating economic consequence for both countries. met asylum seekers who want giving up their dream of living in america she reports in the u.s. border city of el paso. their first steps of freedom on u.s. soil are from a detention center bus to the doors of a church turned temporary shelter inside the view from the pulpit is a family's resting in cots a much needed respite after an arduous journey. i just see a lot of humble people. broken people strong people warriors people that they have a dream and people that they've been through a lot this family of four is from ecuador where in earthquake destroyed the store that was their livelihood i see no other way to survive they headed north they say

the u.s. presidents harsh border rhetoric drove them to faster action my worry was if you don't go no lose your chance better to go now and take a risk the family says they tried several times to claim asylum at the port of entry in el paso that is the legal way to enter the united states and what the trump administration has encouraged people to do but the family says u.s. border agents repeatedly turned them away so they said to ourselves we are already here we can't turn back so we decided to cross the river. thousands have done the same in recent weeks after surrendering to u.s. authorities many were held behind barbed wire fence under a bridge this mother and her two daughters slept two nights there hungry crying and exposed to the elements. she's only three and she told me mom this isn't fair others at the shelter say they resorted to drinking bathroom water while in

detention many are sick adults with stomach problems and children with fever once i set out with them and finding out their stories the truth of what they really go through it's heartbreaking all of the men were released with ankle monitors the government will track them to make sure they'll appear for an immigration hearing at a later date only about ten percent of asylum seekers from latin america when their cases to remain in the u.s. for good but for these families they feel they've already overcome worse odds just to make it this far. castro al-jazeera el paso texas more than ninety million children in bangladesh are being a vastly affected by climate change that's the conclusion of a unicef report rising waters are driving many families from coastal areas to the capital dhaka unicef says once they arrive in the city children are at risk of being used as laborers and prostitutes. as more than dhaka. among one of the oldest

slum in dhaka is home to a generation of migrants who fled their village home due to some sort of climate change impact now the world bank says that nearly four hundred thousand people on an average move to the capital city dhaka among them seventy percent have fled their villages due to some sort of environmental shocked or climate change this is according to international organization of migration life in the slums are very difficult people do not like living here that prefer their old home in the villages but for survival they have to stay here most of the men folks here as construction workers day laborers are rickshaw pullers woman folks if they're lucky they get a job in the garment factory some of them work as domestic help typically a house rent here ordered room rent rather just thirty dollars a month a very difficult environment most of them to cope with their children don't get to

get free education that is another major challenge bangladesh barely contributes zero point four metric tons parked capita to global carbon emission yet it is a country that's bears the majority of the burn on climate change experts say within the next three decades the average temperature is going to be growing by two degrees centigrade this means a major challenge for bangladesh and its environment in coming years south koreans are using their smartphones to tap into the world's first nationwide five g. internet service on wednesday the country became the first to rollout complete superfast mobile coverage rob reiner's move themselves. events like this one have ensured there is maximum hype for the launch of five g. and south korea becomes the first country to offer nationwide coverage as one of the most digitally connected places on the planet it will be strange if south korea was not first with five g. this event by one of the service providers is. conjunction with samsung that at the

moment is the only hand phone maker in south korea that offers a device fast enough to handle the incredible speeds of five g. a but they won't be the only ones for along all the other tablets and handphone makers playing catch up given the anticipated demand for five g. and it's not hard to see why the super fast internet speeds many times faster than current four g. speeds will offer all kinds of possibilities in terms of streaming content a virtual reality or menteith reality. gaming applications and so on for consumers here in south korea for consumers anywhere in the world what is there not to like watching young at and i'm expecting to use a high quality videos video phone calls and virtual reality and so much faster speed. with south korea providing the quickest telecom service in the world i have high expectations. i watch a lot of videos so i think it's going to be good for netflix and you tube there are

of course the wider implications of five g. force a society in the way we live our lives the ability to move vast amounts of data with almost no delay is reckoned will have a transformative impact on things like robotics driverless vehicles even drones to deliver things for korea companies there are of course security concerns about having so much more data and access points to it you just have to look at the contriver see over chinese manufacturing while away and concerns about it controlling infrastructure for five g. in places like the u.s. and elsewhere but certainly here in south korea the government believes that five g. is essential for the country to keep its economic competitiveness and as far as the consumers are concerned they believe they need five g. and they need it now.

time for a quick check of the headlines here the british prime minister to resign may is set to ask the european union for another brigs that delay this time for three months until the end of june well the u.k. is due to leave the block in a week meanwhile the president of the european union donald tusk is preparing to ask either for a flexible twelve month delay for the u.k. to is said to be against more short extensions he's expected to present his request next wednesday and for supporting the u.n. backed government have been deployed to defend libya's capital those troops loyal to the war he thought have to move towards the city and the u.n. security council will hold an emergency session on friday to discuss the crisis libya's interior minister has told down to zero the u.n. backed government has lost faith in international efforts to resolve the crisis. yeah i mean why use weapons in force to terrorize the people of libya to kill them and to force them to accept one thing only which is to be ruled by a military dictator what makes mr heft arbet

a candidate then the other libyans if he's calling for a state with a strong army and police we are also calling for a state with a strong army and police and for the rule of law we will not be subdued by any use of force by any side or any person and if anyone is willing to use force that gives us we are ready to secure for us but we will not give up on democracy which is what we have always wanted from the beginning us politicians have stepped up efforts to end support for the saudi and u.s. led war in yemen congress has given final approval to a resolution to stop american funding for the conflict. the bill now heads to president donald trump who says he'll veto it anyway and trump has backed down from his threat to close the u.s. border with mexico instead he says he'll give mexico a year to stop the flow or drugs and migrants and he's warned failure to do so will lead to border closures and tariffs on mexican products. well those are the

headlines the news continues here on the al jazeera after the street station. thousands of people have been killed raped or mutilated in south sudan's civil and un report says government forces and other militia are financing the conflict with money from the country's oil industry you want to break in south sudan and we will never talk to the south sudan's oil minister has to want to see her. life imitates art at least in ukraine where a comedian famous for a t.v. role as the country's president could soon wind power for real. and i might have a dean as volunteers alinsky aims to unseat the current president in a final round of elections well look at ukraine send your thoughts through twitter and you tube.

ukraine's next president a celebrity with no political experience or a much criticised billionaire businessman with a presidential term already under his belt ukrainians will choose in a decisive poll in less than three weeks time volodymyr is a landscape is famous for his role in servant of the people the hit show in which he plays a schoolteacher who improbably becomes ukraine's president now he wants to lead in real life in the first round of the country's presidential election on sunday he finished way ahead of incumbent petro poroshenko and in a display of made for t.v. show in ships alinsky is urging his rival to debate and he have a lympics stadium. i'm waiting for you here at the olympic stadium out of respect to at least one third if ukraine citizens you must publicly say that debates will be held not with the puppets of the kremlin or an oligarchy not with a supporter of progress and rebels not with

a piece of trash and not with a clown but with ukrainian presidential candidates to me is the landscape like i give you twenty four hours think about it. but is the being the president and commander in chief is not a game it is not a desire to be likeable debates are held not for the sake of a show at the stadium but if you want to be at the stadium let it be at the stadium i am waiting for you vladimir is going to. adopt what has been thrown out for more on the election and the issues around it we are joined from kiev by peter dickinson he's a research fellow at the atlantic council and the publisher of business ukraine also in the ukrainian capital. she is a lawyer at the anti corruption action center and similar bar shadow me say is an al-jazeera reporter who has covered the ukrainian elections she joins us from doha welcome everyone to the stream peter i want to start with you we saw that video there what can you tell us about what i mean. and why he was so successful in the

first round of this presidential election. well essentially he is. the establishment. he is fighting against the status quo the greatest strength he has no experience is his greatest weakness is well known but at this stage in the campaign he represents the ultimate protest. i think bill's and all the strengths that he's not simply popular because he played the president he being a major celebrity in ukraine for around twenty years now and is a household name known to everyone very well like we've seen is a very charming charismatic son because i'm not an unknown sprung from the you know the the fringes of buffy's great strength not involved in the political environment and a t.v. show about being a huge part of the campaign facially the show in the show. and then every man

president who has the system which is betrayed to the sheriff in a grotesque mounted by a craven and you crazy part of it is pretty. but in the sharia the power of extreme seemed to have all the. most incredibly the right lead and. i think well he dealt with the protests will be there you say his ultimate protest he represents the protest vote what does that protest about look like what did those people care about we have a tweet from eugene petrusha saying foreign policy keeping rush said bait the rule of law widespread corruption are key the economy is not growing much but key issues are lack of confidence high interest rate society is less enthusiastic and more tired compared to the euro maidan period. when you see that tweet obviously there are many other issues at stake does that ring true as to what these people are upset about in ukraine. it to say true that people in

ukraine have long waited long after the euro my don't protest for changes to start happening but five years have passed and they have not seen a single achievement they are saying that the end to corruption bureau was set up but teeth were not given to the body so your option court has not been set up and but i should go keeps promising that he's going to get serious on tackling corruption but his time is up and he still has nothing to show for it and the only . woman today he can speak it off is that he is. like strong speeches against russia and the people who support him are actually. finding it hard to find anything else to praise here they're saying that he's our guarantor

for peace but they acknowledge that he has not done anything to improve. craniums lives so i wanted to pick up on that elaborating a little bit more with some voices of some of those people and i want to share with our audience what a few residents of kiev had to say the day after the first round of voting have a listen. thank you for my point of view this election is a form of mass protest because we will choose where we will be in ten to fifteen years and what country our children and grandchildren will live that is why i appreciate the selection for the week. through the years and of course i'm satisfied we voted for selenski everything is cool in fact it was expected that there would not be push and go in the second round and it was expected that it would be yulia timoshenko everything went not that we expect that everything will be fun so. don't make you well as usual we are hopeful but we do not know what

the result will be but there is hope of course selenski is leading we hoped it would be another candidate hopefully everything will be. so she mentioned we do not know what the result would be and that last comment there one thing that might help us figure out what will happen in the next round of this election is the debate so we saw the very top of the show the challenge there from zelinsky to have a debate with the incumbent president and the incoming president has picked it up and said all right let's go we're doing in the olympic stadium we're going to debate this what do you make of this whole scene there and what this debate might bring. we hope to be the real brain and a.d.'s it at last to the conversation because currently they have city ation and when current president he's talking about he's

some. pasta achievements. but people know that a lot of the situations are good in paper but they took too long time to be made and they are mad about broken promises about see if the reforms. have been postponed and the demand of just east was not brought to the people so they were up and they project every scene to save and ski as their. challenger to that so now that this was the first during the first earth now they hope to hear it ideas from the both candidates what are they planning to do because during the last month his boss poroshenko and selenski employed him to reduce the dependent jordan are urgently stability in their debates. so now people who want to speak well they will speak i would imagine and that's why the new round of elections is

happening but we also have people speaking directly to us and some people at length on twitter we have a thread here i'm going to just kind of give you the highlights anastasio saying you know they're aware the youth there in ukraine that poroshenko is corrupt and has faults but most people she knows ended up voting for him anyways because he's the least of all evils then she goes on to say his voters don't trust to go usually they consider her a betrayer of the country a phoney a friend of the russian someone who is corrupt and who would sell her country in a heartbeat but then under stress there goes on to say zelinsky is also not trusted her friends consider him to be a clown who just like trump started a joke they got way out of and they consider him to be a pro russian and they also make a big deal out of the fact that apparently he doesn't speak ukrainian very well now tamil i see that you're smiling and peter you're nodding to me why don't we get your reaction to understand. it's interesting that people say that asking is

going to tackle corruption and he he's our whole but actually nobody has any indication of how he is going to be able to achieve it he has no nothing to show to prove that he's like capable of dealing with such an important issue and he tackled corruption only in a sitcom and as an actor like he has it can convince people that he cares about corruption and he's are able to tackle it but actually if it was just on t.v. it was like part of a show a sitcom so people like seem to have believed him just because he was playing a role often and the corruption buster so. and people who have an anecdote about people who. even though they don't believe in him like i was talking to a mind on protester in hot give and she said she is going to like close her eyes

and vote before i go we have like a heart full of shame because. she was saying that i really don't believe in him he. disappointed everybody who was standing on my done like a five years ago but they're like i you look at the ballot and i see nobody else and she was saying that she was actually each telling off her father for saying that he would support for her saying go and then weeks later she and she realize that she also doesn't have any other alternatives so i want to illustrate what you're saying there peter i'll give the see but i just wanted to break in briefly to illustrate what some of the was saying there with this gallup poll from not too long ago this is march twenty first it was it was published world low nine percent of ukrainians confidence in government you can just see the stats rate here ukrainian confidence in government is among the lowest in the world and there you see it there peter. yeah

a whole new issue of that and the. manifesto all love all credentials a lot and i think this is you know a key part of his success is that he everything to everyone and he can be whatever you want him to be to the degree because he doesn't say exactly what he represents and he's not clear about his policies so at this stage. a lot of voters are able to say well i like him and he often why mitt will because he doesn't like me so that we didn't say what he represents and people are hoping that in the next few weeks he'll be a little clearer up you're going to say what he represents but. these wives at the bank the scene is such an important event within the campaign how small certainly would normally be in a presidential campaign my stuff in the dean is that the debate will happen because i don't think that people race being exposed really all the math but i don't want to leave how we say face he's the one that hands and this is a to this he he brought the challenge well no one.
